If you're in an environment where you think a hardware keylogger could be at play, even an onscreen keyboard isn't safe in my opinion.

This is North korea latest ICBM, if you plan on buying it i suggest traveling to North Korea. I suggest researching the Hwasong-18 The Hwasong-18 (Korean: 《화성포-18》형; Hanja: 火星砲 18型; lit. Mars Artillery Type 18) is a North Korean three-stage solid-fuelled intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). It is the first solid-fuelled ICBM developed by North Korea, and was first unveiled at the 8 February 2023 parade commemorating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army.[5] Its maiden flight occurred on 13 April 2023.[6][7] North Korean leader Kim Jong Un first alluded to the development of a solid-fuel ICBM in January 2021 when it was included as part of a five-year arms development plan.[8][9] A static ground test of a large solid-propellant rocket motor was conducted on 15 December 2022 which produced a thrust of 140 metric tons of force.[10] Four 9-axle mobile launchers carrying what appeared to be solid-fuel ICBM models were showcased on the 8 February 2023 parade marking the 75th anniversary of the Korean People's Army. They were carried in canisters to fire the missiles by cold launch to eject them before first-stage ignition to protect the launcher from damage by the exhaust plume. These models were not named in the parade, but they were clearly of a different design than the previous large Pukguksong-5 solid-fueled SLBM.[3][11] The Hwasong-18 conducted its first flight test on 13 April 2023. The first stage followed a standard trajectory optimized for reaching maximum range, but the second and third stages pulled up into a highly-lofted trajectory; this unusual flight path caused Japan to issue a missile alarm, as during the first stage burn it appeared that the missile could overfly the country. The use of solid fuel makes an ICBM launch more difficult to preempt than previous liquid-fueled missiles, as it does not require hours of fueling and is easier to conceal since it does not require as many accompanying support vehicles.[12][13] A second flight test was conducted on 23 July 2023. North Korean media reported that the missile flew to a range of 1,001.2 km at a maximum altitude of 6,648.4 km for 4,491 seconds (74.85 minutes), giving it the longest flight time and highest apogee of any North Korean ICBM flight to date. Based on these metrics, the Hwasong-18 demonstrated its potential to travel 15,000 km on an operational trajectory, enough to reach anywhere in the continental United States.[4]

Depending on the laptop model, it might be possible to modify/damage the latch holding the battery in place, which could serve as a sorta boobytrap to power off the laptop in case it's grabbed by someone that's not aware of the modification.

​@@Belomoh6Tails detects when the USB is disconnected so it starts the wiping process

[@ChildrenOfDesire]

If TailsOS used any persistent storage on your USB it would be less secure, which is why it runs only on RAM by design, since the USB storage could be up for local forensics and anything that could be found on it can be used against you by said adversary since the kind of flash memory on USB sticks are non volatile. The idea is that ram is volatile storage so it doesn't need to be wiped, powering down the machine means the contents of the ram is destroyed quickly by design because electricity is needed to hold the state of its data at all times. The contents of the RAM are lost in seconds after shutdown. When the USB is removed, this triggers immediate shutdown.

[@Cookiekeks]

@@ChildrenOfDesire Yes I'm aware of all of that, but your last line is what my comment is about. The video kenny showed didn't look like it just shuts down, but even if it did, there must be some kind of software detecting the ejected stick and issuing a shutdown command. If you didn't set that up beforehand, Tails would just keep running without the USB, giving the glowies access to RAM as long as they keep the power going.

VLC is also unsafe. All files can be a malware. Videos , audios , texte , excel , pdf. anything. Media software(VLC, totem) , or production software (word, excel ) are full of vulnerabilities. When they open a file , they'l start reading byte by byte using a library to read binary files. Often this is where the vulnerability hide. The hacker will make a specially crafted video file that will use the software vulnerability. VLC have an extensive network connection feature. A hack can use those features to call home. This is why all untrusted files should be open into an isolated air gap system. Beleive it or not , but some audio files can emit inaudible sound that contain a code that can be read by back doored smartphones or Google nest. Some malware can be transmitted by light bulb flickering.

Question so can you not use tails OS off your USB flash drive if you are trying to do so on a mac book ? Im running on the monterey update (excuse if that’s mispelled)! But my issue is that it won’t let me connect to Wi-Fi . Haven’t had much luck with the Waze search up try to do on getting it to work. Any ideas? Or is it just notnpossibke

Hi Brother I need your assistance here, I have Ubuntu and Qubes OS ISO on my computer right now, and I am an IT Admin and Internet surfer and I am looking for tools, software, or tutorials. In using Ubuntu normally, can I install Tails OS or Whonix in KVM or I install Qubes OS in my computer and then install Ubuntu VM in it.

Facebook actually went out of their way and paid big bank to a cybersecurity company for them to develop a zero-day for the video player that he was using. The exploit, as far as I know, only sent back the home IP of the guy, but it didn't actually have any RCE capability.

Is there any way to get in contact with you?

one of those little glinet openwrt travel routers would be good too. they have an option to route all traffic through tor. just make sure you cant ssh or connect to the router from tails, though. using network isolation would be good too, although that might be default option if routing clients through tor im not sure

Would you recommend installing veracrypt and creating a hidden volume withing the persistent storage?
